Can I pre-order Photoshop CS5?

In recent releases of Photoshop and the Creative Suite bundles, Adobe allows pre-orders immediately after the official announcement of the products. The official announcement is scheduled for April 12. Orders should be allowed at that time.

If you have a need for the features of CS4, and expect to be using it right away, Buy Photoshop NOW and use it. The up-to-date version, Photoshop CS4, has some improved tools and has been well reviewed.

Like everything in the tech world, things are progressing all the time. If you aren’t ready to use new software, or a new gadget, I say…wait. There will be a ‘new something’ available whenever you decide to buy, and probably with more features for the money, too.

PhotographyUncapped.com will report any official announcements – immediately.

Will be a little while yet. Seeing as there are issues with CS4 on OS X Snow Leopard (10.6), Adobe should be pushing to release this instead of working on a patch for CS4. Lets hope we aren’t waiting too long.

Caleb,
I don’t know where you found this offer, but offers change all the time.
I would expect, that after any official announcement, that old offers would expire and new ones would take their place. There is generally a delay between the ‘announcement’ and the ‘release’.
